Thanks for the video, it was right on time for me. I’m considering purchasing this system. I have AT&T Fiber. They supplied me with a AT&T branded modem and wifi router (http://www.arris.com/products/5268ac-xdsl-voice-gateway/ ). Do you believe the Amplifi HD will provide faster download and upload speeds? I often feel like they throttle my service at any given time. And forgive me for not knowing but what is “bridge mode”?

First review I have seen that speaks about the speeds when using gigabit internet service! I ultimately returned my Amplifi HD system since I first opened a ticket with them in August 2017 and checked in for updates monthly and they never had an ETA until last week when they said they were in BETA with the firmware that would fix this issue. I just couldn’t wait any longer for the fix and to top it off the speeds were not that great, the coverage though was fantastic. I am currently using a Google WiFi system after trying the Linksys Velop and Netgear Orbi as well. Out of all of them, the Orbi was by far the worst. I liked the Amplifi system, it had great features and coverage but the speed issue with gigabit internet was a deal breaker for me.

I purchased the AmpliFi HD mesh system a few weeks ago. And while I am overall happier with this system than the Apple AirPort Extreme router it replaced, I can’t get NEAR the speeds with either of the two satellite mesh points as I do with the base unit. And they are in the 5GHz band. Is it possible that they automatically got configured as network “extenders,” which typically cuts speeds in half, instead of actual mesh points? Very happy with the router itself, not so much with the satellites. Hoping a firmware update will improve the speed.

Is it really going to make my wifi speed faster? Im planning to buy one. My download speed max is 7 mbps, even if the carrier Verizon says it should be a hu dred. Can you explain it to me how it can speed up internet?
